As a small rural community, we are very fortunate to have a grocery store that stocks the variety…read moreof items that Willie's Super Valu does. The service is usually good, usually possible to find an employee who can help you locate something you can't, they are open to stocking an item they don't have if they realize enough interest to justify shelf space. Paul is very friendly, but the friendliness level of the check-out staff can be rather hit-and-miss, some can't find a smile, some can't manage a "hi". Not as much love as when Willie assured us , "We love your here at Willies!". That's probably also the reason for taking unfair advantage of their fortunate position as the only major grocery store within an hours drive of Morris. I think we can all understand the business sense of "get it while the getting is good" but charging 3+ times the price of any competitor goes beyond that. The customers lost some things that Willie's offered pre-Covid, things that were never brought back, some that had always been and are now lost to the past (paper bags is one with lots of complaints). Now I hear we're going to lose Pump Perks. Paul shouldn't lose sight of what could happen if another grocer ever did move into town. Yes, we appreciate having Super Valu in town, and, yes, we will pay the oft exorbitant prices (the reality of monopolies), but, maybe, in return, Willie's could bring back something customers have lost? Maybe keep the Pump Perks or bring back the paper bags. Something tangible to show your appreciation for every customer's contribution to your continued success, something that says, "Remember, we STILL love you here at Willie's"! (My showing yelp profile location is off a few miles. ????)

If you are from elsewhere in Minnesota, this is not at all like the SuperValu stores elsewhere…read more This is more like Lund's or Byerly's in the Cities, or one of the fancier co-ops. The store is really bright and well-designed and kept immaculate and well-organized. The produce was all fresh and I saw nary a blemish on any of them. Same with the meat/butcher section. They have cute little cars in front of carts for little ones. They bag your groceries and carry out your food to your car. They had a good coupon book and had some inexpensive options for every item.

OK I'm always upset at seeing one toilet seats at Walmart especially mega Walmart like this one…read more However I was surprised by the fact that they have toilet seat disposable covers. That's very hygienic and very thoughtful. Still it will not neutralize my anger at having only one toilet seat.... i'm sure there is a long story behind the mono toilet seat.... Parking lot was ample and plenty of business in this area so whatever you're looking for you'll find it at this Walmart or in the surrounding stores. The place was full of things unlike Covid times when stores look dead and empty and people are fearful. It was a positive Christmas vibe at the store from the entrance to leaving. And it looked very clean. I wanted to go in shopping but the fear of the corona forced me to leave after five minutes. Oh since it's a Walmart I always check if there's a police car outside, this one had none. It put a smile on my face and confidence within me entering the store.

I much prefer going here for snacks and lunch and picnic items as fast food gets so boring when in towns on the hockey circuit Elden's is a real plus for the town of Alex..

I stood there and witnessed this myself! The sunflowers looked like they just took them and shoved them in the vase and put leaves around the sides. Nothing was arranged properly. Absolutely horrible quality and i will be sure to tell my kids to never use them again! Save your money because the florists at this place have no idea on what they're doing!

I decided to get a pastrami and a pulled pork sandwich to go. The kid behind the counter actually heated up the two meats in a pan, I thought that was a nice touch. The lady was very nice and served it to me with a smile. I got 4 elk burgers to grill and I have had two. They are kind of gamey in a nice way and super lean. I will add some salt and pepper to it when I grill it up tonight. I might even add a slice of pepper jack to add a little fat to the meal. It went well with a nice side salad and some zucchini sticks. This place was a great small town meat market and there was a vegetable stand in the parking lot and I got some great cherry tomatoes.
